Is this me or TGE?

This is not the first time I have seen this and frankly I shouldn't period as far as I am concerned.
Has someone come up with a fix or is this my fault with something I have done. If it is TGE, why would DTS objects not block view of the sun? Seems a bit off to me.

Since an image ignores collision I am pretty sure that is why this is happening. I guess it is something I will just have to work around.

Well further testing shows that it has to do with the object being used as a shape image. As any other version, vehicle, static, or even item, all allow the lighting to be blocked. However, as an image, it does not.Since an image ignores collision I am pretty sure that is why this is happening. I guess it is something I will just have to work around.

So, that is expected.
You could probably change that, but it does not seem like a big issues to me.

Weapons don't use a collision mesh, but a point instead, I am pretty sure.So, that is expected.

Possibly, you could extend your Player's collision mesh to cover the area where a weapon would most likely be found. This would be less precise, and the sun might disappear/reappear at the wrong points, but depending on how badly you want this fixed...

You could play around with the collision box.
